Paul Cribbin off Down Under for AFL trial

KILDARE minor star Paul Cribbin is off to Australia today (Wednesday) for a trial with AFL club Melbourne.

The Johnstownbridge man will spend two weeks down under but is expected to return a week before Kildare's all important Leinster semi final clash with Meath in Navan.

 

Sweet, i'll ring my mate back home who would've probably played against him and find out if he's any good.

come on the paddys :lol:

Some web search have found these quotes

"Cribbin oozed all the skills and football attributes of a complete footballer – high-fielding, terrific balls skills and first class scoring ability as he banged home 1-2 for his team"

However here talks about Collin#$%d

Come on Jimmy use your shamrock conections and get us an irish gem

How come we only get the minor stars and others get the major stars?

The kid's only 16. Can't get drafted for a year ot two.

GAA minors is the premier under 18 competition in Ireland, basically the TAC Cup. Cribbin is starring for one of the best teams in that competition.

that sounds awesome! so if he impresses ..we might be able to pick him up in the pre draft or something end of the year?

According to Croke Park officials, the very modest Cribbin is allegedly good kicking goals on his back... ;)

 

Good luck Paul.

"terrific balls skills and first class scoring ability as he banged home 1-2 for his team" ... :lol:

Let's not get too carried away with Irish recruits. While I applaud the fact that we're getting back into the business of trying to find players from outside the usual sources, we should remember that the percentage of these players who make it to the AFL is still relatively low. Our last aspirant from Ireland was Nick Walsh who was brought out here and went to one of APS schools. Apparently, he once tagged Chris Judd in a school game and gave him some problems. We all got excited about our new Sean Wight but he spent the next two years either injured or playing with Sandy seconds and then went home.

Hopefully, we get a better return from this lad.

Turns out he's training here with Collingwood. Too much for us to expect us to take such an initiative.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
